    QFS techniques allow students to practice asking questions, which is an essential part of conversation. There are several techniques instructors can use: 1) Question-Answer-Answer-Question (Q-A-A-Q) where the instructor and student take turns asking and answering questions. 2) Answer-Question (AQ) where the instructor provides an answer and cues the student to ask a question. Stress can be varied to elicit different questions. 3) Indirect questions where the instructor models asking indirect questions for the student to repeat. Tease Answer (TA) is used as practice having students ask follow up questions about a scenario where each answer introduces a new detail.

    QFS Techniques (Questions from students)

    QFS allow the student to use the interrogative form, an essential part of daily
    conversation. QFS may be elicited by one or more of the following techniques:

    Question-Answer-Answer-Question (Q-A-A-Q)

    I: What is it?
    S: Its a pencil.
    I: (cue)* (show them a book)
    S: What is it?

    I: What did have for lunch yesterday?


    S: I had fish for lunch yesterday.
    I: I had chicken for lunch yesterday. (cue)* Question
    S: What did you have for lunch yesterday?

    * The cue may be a gesture, first word of the question, or the instruction, Question?

    Remember that the instructor answers the students questions! (Or their partners if
    theyre working in pairs).

    Answer-Question (AQ):

    I: Its a book. (cue) I: Its 9h15. (Question)


    S: What is it? S: What time is it?

    By varying the stress, the AQ technique can be used to elicit different questions from the
    same sentence/answer:

    I: I went to the bank on Monday.


    S: Where did you go on Monday?
    I: I went to the bank on Monday.
    S: When did you go to the bank?
    I: I went to the bank on Monday.
    S: Who went to the bank on Monday?

    Negative statements can also elicit questions:

    I: I didnt have eggs for breakfast. I: I dont usually come to school by bus.
    S: What did you have for breakfast? S: How do you usually come to school?

    Indirect Questions

    I: Ask me what I did yesterday!


    S: What did you do yesterday?
    I: Ask me if I have a car!
    S: Do you have a car?

    This technique can be simplified by placing the question in direct speech:

    I: Do I have a car?
    S: I dont know.
    I: Ask me! Do you....
    S: Do you have a car?

    I: What time was I here this morning?


    S: I dont know.
    I: Ask me! What time....
    S: What time were you here this morning?

    GENERAL INSTRUCTION

    I: And now you ask a question with commute


    I: And now you ask a question with how often

    (Actual word cues may be written on the board to guide students, the words are of course
    one of the key word or key question from the lesson)

    Tease Answer (TA)


    This technique can be used as a practice activity at the end of the class to have the
    students practice asking question, it might not be directly related to the topic of the class.

    I: * (Cue)
    S: Whats this?
    I: Its a bus, but its not red.
    S: What color is it?
    I: Its blue, but its not American.
    S: What kind of bus is it?
    I: Its a German bus, but its not in Germany.
    S: Where is it?
    I: Its in France, but its not in Paris.
    S: In which city it? Etc

    S: How will he travel to Chicago?
    I: He will travel by plane but he wont take his car to go to the airport
    S: What will he take to go to the airport?
